Yes.

[Lord Azaghul]

Yes, and always.
Read the chariots section of the book.
Initial combats are fought in the following order: Impact hits, chargers, Initative order.
All ASF does is override the 'charging' rule.
Two ASF's units fight each other cancel each other out (per faq) - and the charger would go first.

Thanks for the input. The guy i play with who plays high elves says that impact hits are like charging so the aways strike first rule works.

He is most definately incorrect. The brb specifies that impact hits are BEFORE any blows are struck, one or both parties having ASF is irrelevant.

This isn't completely correct, in the case of 2 ASF unit's engaged in CC, they go in initiative order irregardless of who charged.

Order of Attacks:

1. Impact Hits
2. Always strikes first, in cases of ASF vs. ASF models attack in initiative order from highest to lowest.
3. Models that successfully charged in the preceding movement phase.
4. Highest initiative in the combat than the next highest and so on.
5. Great Weapons
6. Models with always strike last.
